The United Nations High Commission for Refugees reports that as of January 2015 there were over 51.2 million refugees in the world. LDS Charities, the humanitarian organization of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, provides assistance to refugees worldwide, including the one percent that are resettled in host countries.

Refugees that are resettled face immense challenges living in a new environment. There are three components to their success: learning the language, securing employment, and building local relationships.
